Kurt Cambell : Election will lack credibility:

May 10 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. envoy Kurt Campbell said military-ruled Myanmar’s planned elections later this year will lack credibility if the generals don’t allow more participation.

“What we have seen to date leads us to believe that these elections will lack international legitimacy,” Campbell, an assistant secretary of state, said after two days of meetings with government officials and opposition leaders, including Aung San Suu Kyi. “We urge the regime to take immediate steps to open the process in the time remaining before the elections.”
Mr Kurt Campbell said The Nobel laureate “has demonstrated compassion and tolerance for her captors in the face of repeated indignities,”. Campbell said. “It is simply tragic that Burma’s generals have rebuffed her countless appeals to work together to find a peaceable solution for a more prosperous future.”
